Bilingual
They faced it, those men of the West
The mountains, the prairies, the rivers
Here's the story of a prospector who met up with the worst of them all
The desert
When I began my search for gold I stopped to have my fortune told
Silently her fingers traced my hand
I said: 'What will my future be?'
The only words she said to me was 'Sand.'
I laughed at her and traveled on
Until one day I stood upon the border of a godforsaken land
I knew those hills had gold to fetch
Just across that little stretch of sand
Darling just wait a little longer
I'll soon be by your side again
I'm almost at the rainbow's end
My burro died two days ago
My water's gone, my step is slow
It's still so far till to where the mountains stand
Not another living soul, just a poison water hole
And sand
It's getting mighty hard to see, the desert's playing tricks on me
Is that my darling holding out a hand?
My arms reach out, my fingers clutch
But Lord above me, all I touch is sand
Goodbye darling, wait for me no longer
My mortal strength is gone at last
The spark of life is fading fast
Fortune waits for other men
But for me the rainbow's end is sand
Endless, burning sand
